Cimarron 1873 Saddle Shorty .45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle, 18″ Barrel

Product Description

Cimarron 1873 Saddle Shorty is a .45 Colt lever-action rifle with an 18″ octagon barrel. Uberti in Italy makes it. It runs on an external hammer and wears a checkered walnut stock with a color case hardened finish.

What sets it apart

The short barrel keeps the overall length at 36″, so the rifle is quick to shoulder and easy to carry. The magazine holds 10+1 rounds. The rifling has a 1:16″ twist. Sights are dovetail blade sights and they are adjustable, so you can tune the point of impact to your load. The stock has a 13.125″ length of pull.

This rifle suits anyone who likes the look and feel of an old-style lever gun. It fits cowboy-style shooting, casual range days, and ranch or truck-gun duty. The octagon barrel and case colors also make it a good fit for a collection of western firearms.

Good companions include a leather saddle scabbard, a cartridge belt with loops for .45 Colt, and a leather or canvas sling. Add quality .45 Colt ammunition, a cleaning kit sized for the caliber, and eye and ear protection for the range. A gun case or a rack keeps the walnut and finish protected between trips.
